Jan Arbuckle

Council Member

PostAugust 7, 2019

I was born and raised in Southern California, relocated to
Sacramento in 1975.

I retired from the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department after
18 years, where I served the community as a Deputy Sheriff and
still function as a Reserve Deputy coordinating their PEER
Support Program.

With a desire to serve my community, I served on the Nevada
County Civil Grand Jury for two consecutive terms giving me a
crash course in how local government operates and pressing
community issues such as public safety, homelessness and drug
addiction. In February 2007, I was appointed to the Grass Valley
City Council.

In November 2008 I was elected to a four year term on the City
Council and was honored to have been elected Mayor by my fellow
Council Members in December of 2010.
